Small, powerful. Love it!I've had it for about 3 weeks now, and I'm never letting it go!
The design is stunning. I've got the grey one, and it fits perfectly into our modern home. It feels very well made. The fabric is nice to the touch, the metal on top is sturdy and it's heavy. This speaker has become my go-to to listen to music at home. Even though it's small enough to fit almost anywhere, it still packs a punch! The music is really well balanced, and there's no lack of bass.
I'm not loving the touch controls on top of the speaker so I just use voice commands or the Google Home app.
The only downfall of this speaker is also it's biggest feature, the Google Assistant. The Google Assistant can understand simple commands, so getting my tv to turn on, and start watching a show on Netflix goes smoothly. Try asking it to create an event in your calendar, with a specific date and time, and it refuses. After trying for 15 minutes I finally figured a way around it, but the whole point of the Assistant is to be simple and easy to use. So if you got to do a ton of research or asking something in 10 different phrases, then it ain't working as intended.
So to summon this review up;
The speaker itself is amazing, and well worth every dime!
Google Assistant is far from perfect, and sometimes downright annoying to use. But the future looks bright though, it's frequently updated and with the updates comes more stability and features! Therefore I'm still going to give the speaker an Excellent rating.

Great looks!I have had this for 2 weeks now and it has become a part of our home, even my girlfriend (how doesnt like gadgets & tech) appreciates this speaker and its functionalities. I really like how it looks, and the gray color matches my couch perfect. But the size of the citation ONE is a bit small for my living room, so I use it in the kitchen as a smart radio, and I am still able to use the smart features of the speaker. The installation was really easy with the google home app, and I have now integrated the TV and my lighting. So I am not able to turn the lights on and off by voice command, but I need to be in the same room since I have only one citation, yet
As a kitchen or bedroom speaker it sounds well and have rich sound even on low volume. I really appreciate the ability to play radio directly from the speaker, not needing to use a external device.

Good alternative to Google HomeI've been able to test his speaker for a couple of weeks.
It does a good job as a Google assistant, just as you would expect from any speaker that carries that with it. I do like the design of this better than the ones from Google though, and the sound quality is a whole lot better in this one.

Hi. I just bought two citation 1 speakers, and one citation bar, my question is simple, can i use the bar and two citation 1 speakers as (satellit) speakers when you are watching for example a movie?

Asked by: Mathias s

Two&nbsp;HK Citation One speakers can be hooked up with the Citation Bar to simulate a 5.0 channel experience, assuming the movie can send out the corresponding signal.

Will two cititation one speakers grouped together provide true stereo sound as announced in product slide 7 or only play two mono sources? Research your answer carefully, you will be held accountable if I buy a pair and it turns out they dont play stereo

Asked by: Andbir

Same experience like PDAA. Paired as stereo but only dual mono as result. After mailing for two weeks with the support team the final answer was &quot;as long we cannot reproduce it, we cannot help&quot;. It's very disappointing.

Sometimes, at random it seems, it stops listening to my &quot;Hey/Ok Google command&quot;. My Google mini speaker that is in the other room reacts every time as I am trying to command the Citation. If I press mute/unmute mic it fixes the problem. Whats wrong?

Does it recognize individual voice or it response to every voice command?&nbsp;

Asked by: TBCX

It responds to everyone and you can set it up to recognize an individual voice though the Google home app so account related requests would require that individual's voice.
